Jeff Fisher

(In French, On Cable TV, June 2020) Sophomoric slasher Killer Movie isn’t much to talk about, no matter how you slice it. The premise blends a reality-TV show with stacked corpses to no good effect, wringing even less out of the concept than countless other horror films with more or less the same idea. The low-budget production means of the film do no one any favour, with the hockey-related material being particularly fake from this Canadian perspective. Writer-director Jeff Fisher makes a few attempts at self-awareness, but they’re so broad that they fail to improve the film’s execution and impact. It all ends up being very dull if you’re not a fan of slasher horror. The most notable thing about Killer Movie is an early film role for Kaley Cuoco, but it’s not much and certainly not enough to save the film from the doldrums.
